: In Inkscape, how can I easily select multiple objects that are obscured by other objects? I have object 1 which obscures object 2 which obscures object 3 which obscures object 4. Object

In new Inkscape 0.92 you can select it by holding alt with scrolling
mouse.

Shift + Alt + Mouse Scroll will add to selection

By far the easiest and quickest way to do this is to rely on the fact that undo in inkscape does not undo selection.


Move the objects off each other so you can see them all (and click on them)
Select the objects 1 and 3.
Undo the Moves you did in step 1 with Edit > Undo


Objects 1 and 3 will still be selected even after the undo operations.
